"Like countless 'good girls' of my generation, the message was reduce like a white sauce and privilege masculinity. I had few success models until 50 years out my passion for poker exploded." www.salon.com/2017/01/23/p... @shinnypoker.bsky.social @recpokerjim.bsky.social @daraokearney.bsky.social

If nothing else, this is fun to see. But given the ad rates I've seen this month I am going to still cry myself to sleep tonight. (seriously, yesterday's ad rates were 15% of what they were on the same day last month)

Players who constantly cross the line are not only not good for the game in the long run, they aren't even good for the broadcaster that thinks the sensationalism is good for their show. Look at how much PokerGo has invested in Kassouf and Tajiou. Building them up and the whole

Ike is "stealing from everyone" by tanking once for 6min, but Kassouf & Kabrhel etc stalling for every decision point all day long every day - playing half or less the hands that other tables do - while spewing nonstop verbal diarrhea isn't? 🤔 That's not a serious take.

This 8+ yr interview from @thinkingpoker.bsky.social is the best analysis of Kassouf’s role in poker: thinkingpoker.net/2016/10/epis... Andrew and @natemeyvis.bsky.social do just enough grilling of Kassouf but they’re (1) respectful, (2) academic in their exploring the gray area of the rules, &

It's Independence Day today - the 4th of July - and I'm not feeling very cheerful about the American Experiment or the way things have been going for the past five months. BUT I am still going to be celebrating, and here's why (1/x)

Zach has turned into quite the punster, I see! Some pretty good ones in here, give him a follow

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story… Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…

I'm not sure if that new series about an airplane hijacking is going to be any good. So far, they've only shot the pilot.

My daughter, Hope, just told me some kids in her neighborhood (a small 99.5% White town in Upstate NY where she wants to live) used to call her "The Black Man's Daughter" - but said they failed at insulting her because "What's wrong with being a Black man's daughter?" 🩷 #BlackSky

Here is a real unpopular opinion. Ruth Bader Ginsburg fucked us by not retiring under Obama with multiple years to spare. Also, our current situation is because of Mitch McConnell and his use of senate control to make the Supreme Court the joke that it is.

We really need to ramp up the sports discourse here. I don’t want to keep going back to the Nazi place.

Got to start on this half sleeve. Waves rocks and leaves.

New blog! It covers my first ever Super Senior’s event, and some of my thoughts on ageing www.vegasslotsonline.com/news/2025/07... Shares/comments/likes/reposts always appreciated

Here's where I'm at at this point: Anyone continuing to go there is keeping the Nazi place alive. Whether you interact with the bad shit or not, you going there keeps other people going there and posting there, which keeps the cycle going both in terms of them making $$ and others still going.

So, pro tip for dealing with serial harassers, provokers, people who don't respect boundaries and believe they are entitled to an audience, especially in situations where people are effectively trapped with them: Block them out any way you can, don't look don't listen don't engage.

Jesta Gundam tattoo I did today at Aurora Tattoo MPLS

how can you not be romantic about baseball?

Real nice & professional how WSOP never even gives warnings much less penalties for completely out of line harassing language at the table. "Take my clothes off and stick my di** up your nose" just fine to subject players and stream audiences to. Super enticing to new players!

That bill passing is an awful thing. But if your biggest problem with it is the change to gambling taxes, it's probably time to do some soul searching. A lot of people are going to be tortured and killed because of it, to start. It's awful, but taxes aren't the worst part.

Repubs: "Let's take away the ability of this and this and that population to support themselves and live freely in the US" US poker players: "Yes!" Repubs: pass regressive gambling tax alongside other punitive laws US poker players: "What?!?!? Not like that!"

Took the full day off yesterday ahead of my WSOP main event day 1 today and got to hang out with lots of great people

Every pro wrestler of note is either like this or a Holocaust denier, no middle ground

Holy shit
